Encountering God in Life, Work and Art

Periphery Joy -- With September in full swing, my family put up our fall stuff recently. Every time a new season comes around, I say it’s my favorite, but there truly is something magical about fall. And I love when the inside of our house transforms with the coziness of fall colors. I have a few pumpkin decorations with candle openings, but since having kids, I’ve chosen to forgo the candles in them for the past few years, as my oldest loves to explore and loses most sense of hearing when exploring is underway. But this year, as I set it up and

They Are Leading Now -- Across the Midwest Conference of the ECC, young people are asking significant questions: How has God made me? Where are my gifts needed? What might God be inviting me to do? At the same time, the church is asking questions of its own. Nearly half of active Covenant pastors will reach retirement age within the next decade. Who are the leaders God is raising up? How will we recognize them, encourage them and prepare them? This year, the Midwest Conference hosted two new experiences designed to help us respond: Leadership Basecamp and Exploring Call for Youth. Although the events looked

Brutal Honesty -- In a world where we can edit, filter, and delete so much of who we are in our online presence, I think we tend to carry that same expectation into our everyday realities. When we feel something like jealousy come up, we quickly tuck it away and try to shift to a different emotion or adjust to an entirely different experience. Or we feel discomfort when anger starts to simmer, and we try to ignore it. A variety of things can contribute to why we may do this, but they generally revolve around some form of “I shouldn’t feel these

An Oasis of Connection in Fort Collins -- The Oasis Ministries, based in Fort Collins, CO, is an outreach ministry that strives to connect people to Jesus, both locally and internationally. The ministry launched in April 2017, with non-profit status coming just a few months later in July. Our focus is on three spheres: 1) previous established relationships, 2) neighborhood, and 3) public spaces. Our joy is to give people the time they need to talk, process, and discover how God has been at work in their life. We emphasize loving those that God brings across our path, being representatives and conduits of Jesus. People encounter Jesus through us

Easier and Better -- I go in and out of phases where I enjoy reading parenting books. I’m back in one and I’ve come across author Abbie Halberstadt, a Christian mother of 10 kiddos who has written several books. One of her books that caught my eye that I’ve read through is Hard is Not the Same Thing as Bad: The Perspective Shift that Could Change the Way You Mother. Now, if you’re not a mom, stick with me because a big takeaway I have from her applies to anybody. A question Abbie proposes, that I quite like and have been greatly challenged by,

Growing Hope at Bethlehem -- A Sunday farmers market at Bethlehem Covenant Church (BCC) in Waverly, Nebraska, is helping families around the world put food on their own tables. BCC held its third annual farmers market Aug. 2, raising $2,000 for Growing Hope Globally. Church and community members contributed homegrown produce, baked goods, jams, sauces, flowers, artwork and other creations to sell after worship. The market began in 2024 after the congregation learned about Growing Hope Globally and hosted a guest from an agricultural development program in Honduras. Inspired by what they heard, Pastor Dan Olson and church members Paula Peterson and Jessie Zuniga began imagining how

Le Tour De France 2026 -- Another Tour De France has come and gone. For the past several years, I’ve enjoyed watching this race, and this year came with much anticipation. Tadej Pogacar is a once-in-a-lifetime rider to watch. Having really dug into watching cycling just a few years ago, I don’t really know racing without him. Because of that, it’s sometimes hard to really appreciate just how incredible he is. But I’m often reminded of his dominance because he is the top competitor of my favorite rider, Jonas Vingegaard. In utterly astonishing fashion, Pogacar took the lead early in this year’s Tour. But the last

Time -- I’m reading Beautiful Chaos by Jessica Urlichs, and her poem “I Would Tell Her” is about things she would tell herself in her early days of motherhood. What struck me most about this poem is how it ends. Urlichs says: Only I won’t tell her these things, because she will forget, like we all do, so that we can discover them for ourselves, as we’re meant to Reading this book coincided with one of the few times my sons were okay with me listening to my own music on a car ride. We were listening to Zach Bryan, and his

God Still Sends -- What does it look like to say yes to God? Sometimes it means crossing the street. Sometimes it means crossing an ocean. This summer at Gather, the Evangelical Covenant Church commissioned Reagan Smith as Serve Globally personnel to Japan. While her destination is on the other side of the world, her story began much closer to home – at First Covenant Church in Salina, Kan. Reagan traces her calling back to a youth mission trip when she was just 11 years old. “I felt God really draw me into outreach ministry after my first mission trip,” she said. “My passion for cross-cultural

Sacred Space for Next Generation of Campers -- This summer marked a significant milestone for Twin Lakes Bible Camp in Manson, Iowa as campers gathered for the very first chapel service in the new Lakeview Chapel on June 22. Just two weeks later, on July 4, friends of the camp celebrated with an open house, giving many their first opportunity to step inside this beautiful new space. For more than 70 years, Twin Lakes has helped young people encounter Jesus through worship, biblical teaching, prayer, and fellowship. Lakeview Chapel was intentionally designed to become the spiritual heart of camp for generations to come, providing a flexible worship space for up to 240 people, along
